Since early 2003, the United States has spent approximately 450,000,000,0000 buckaroos funding the war in Iraq. Yes, that's 450 billion dollars. Instead, we could have:
Hired 7,794,848 additional school teachers for one full year, or
Paid for 59,574,407 children to attend Head Start, or
Insured 269,334,450 children for one year, or
Provided 21,804,763 students with 4-year scholarships to public universities.
Quite sad, really.
